CMPE 641 - Topics in VLSI

[3]

This course is focused on the design, implementation, fabrication and testing of a large VLSI chip. Advanced CMOS design topics are covered including BiCMOS and dynamic logic circuits. system-level design entities such as ALUs, Register Files, Functional Units, Controllers, and clock and power distribution schemes. The Verilog high-level description language and high-level synthesis tools are also covered as well as Design-For-Testability design issues. Students work in groups of four to design, implement and test a CMOS implementation of a system level design entity such as a microprocessor
